I'm also interested, albeit with a slightly different use-case. During development, I'd like to be able to have my view defined as a triple-quoted string in my controller's .py file, so I don't have to flip between two files as I'm coding/debugging. Once I'm satisfied with my work, I'd delete the view from the .py file and add it as a .html file.
